isochronism

This theory-mediated measurement was based on the isochronism [36] of the cycloidal pendulum under uniform gravity directed in parallel lines toward a flat Earth.

Huygens dis - covered that theoretically perfect isochronism could be achieved by compelling the bob to describe a cy - cloidal arc.

The latest improvements in the balance to secure perfect isochronism under varying conditions of temperature would delight the soul of Harrison, who worked from 1728 to 1761 on the problem of a compensator for the changes of rate due to the expansion and contraction of the metal, and received the reward of twenty thousand pounds sterling offered by the Board of

We obtain the notes of both circles, one of which is the octave of the other, if there is no isochronism between the shocks.

The angular velocity is regulated by a Watt's governor, which secures an isochronism of the motion independently of the charge.

These contacts help to work the apparatus, and to insure the perfect isochronism of the transmitter and receiver.

If the isochronism is but little impaired, we obtain a note corresponding to the mean interval of the shocks.

In order to produce a note, the succession of shocks must not deviate much from isochronism.

_Experiments to prove that the shocks may proceed from two or several different places to conspire in the formation of a note, provided that the isochronism of the shocks is sufficiently exact, and that the shocks are produced in the same direction_.
